Make MCP tools need active on-demand scenarios, not just the skill

Context: Web, official Make skills repo README (github.com/integromat/make-skills): the MCP server prerequisites. You need a Make.com account AND active scenarios with on-demand scheduling for MCP tool access.

[official Make skills repo, real gotcha]: installing the Make skills is only half the setup. The README lists two prerequisites:

1. A Make.com account.
2. Active scenarios with on-demand scheduling, for MCP tool access.

Agents that install the skills (npx skills add integromat/make-skills, or the Claude Code / Codex plugin) and then find the MCP tools unusable are almost always missing the second one: no active scenario, or scenarios on a schedule that does not allow on-demand runs. Before debugging MCP auth, check that an active on-demand scenario exists in the account.
